CYBB (cytochrome b-245), belongs to the family of NADPH oxidases, that catalyze the generation of the superoxide ion. It is a six-transmembrane glycoprotein, that binds heme, flavin and NADPH. CYBB associates with membrane-bound p22phox to assemble the heavy subunit of flavocytochrome b558, the catalytic component of phagocyte NADPH oxidase. It also associates with four cytosolic components p47phox, p67phox, p40phox and Rac2 required for NADPH oxidase activity. Homologs of the NOX protein family include the catalytic subunits NOX1, NOX3-5, Duox1 and Duox2. NOX2/gp91phox is expressed in neutrophils and phagocytes.
Application
Anti-CYBB antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and western blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CYBB (also known as cytochrome b-245) promotes neurotoxic activation of microglia, that play a central role during neuroinflammatory states and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). NOX1, NOX3-5, Duox1 and Duox2 plays important roles in redox-dependent cell signaling, inflammation and in neurodegenerative diseases. In ALS mice, deletion of either NOX1 or NOX2 gene has significantly slowed disease progression and improved survival.
